WebEx Social is an enterprise collaboration platform that encompasses social networking, real-time communications, content management, and business process capabilities.

Align IT Initiatives with Business Goals

Available both as an on-premises or cloud-based solution, WebEx Social provides deployment flexibility to fit your short and long-term IT needs.

IT is increasingly accountable for delivering technology initiatives that support business goals. WebEx Social plays a vital role in helping to enable business transformation by improving the way employees collaborate and communicate. WebEx Social can:

• Break down departmental and informational silos
• Capture employee-generated knowledge and scale it across the organization
• Improve productivity through new, more efficient work models

Simplify IT Infrastructure

At the same time, WebEx Social can also reduce collaboration infrastructure cost and complexity. It can:

• Lower licensing, support, and maintenance costs by reducing multiple point solutions
• Reduce data replication, email storage, and backup costs by moving collaboration out of email
• Deliver a consistent, optimized experience to tablets and mobile devices
